Advanced Persistent Threats groups were once considered a problem that concerns Fortune 100 companies only. However, the threat landscape of the recent years tells otherwise—in fact, every organization, regardless of vertical and size is at risk, whether as a direct target, supply chain or collateral damage.

The vast majority of security decision-makers acknowledge they need to address the APT risk with additional security solutions but struggle with mapping APT attack vectors to a clear-cut set of security product capabilities, which impairs their ability to choose the products that would best protect them.

“But of course, there are vectors that are used more. Some, because they yield better results and some because they are easier to execute. Like any industry, there are common practices you can clearly map out.”

This attack vector map should reside on the backend of any cybersecurity purchase. In the long run, the investment in security would be measured against its success in preventing cyber derive damage from occurring.

However, many security decision-makers don’t have the attacker perspective that would enable them to adequately prioritize the capabilities they need their security products to have.

“We took the knowledge we’ve accumulated throughout years of offensive security and attack research,” says Gruner, “and asked ourselves – as attackers, what kind of protection would have strained us to the degree that we might reconsider shifting to another target.”

“It was a fascinating journey for us as well which really forced us to objectively reflect on the pros and cons of a wide attacking tools array.”

This is exactly the missing link in the knowledge of the common security buyer, which makes perfect sense—after all non-attackers are not expected to master the attackers’ best practices book.

These decision-makers, however, do know more than anyone else what they have and what they need to protect. The Definitive APT Protection RFP can force-multiply the quality purchase decisions, ensuring that they indeed deliver.
